Early life Franck Armel Gérard Haise was born on 15 April 1971 in Mont-Saint-Aignan, Seine-Maritime.
Managerial career Lens On 25 February 2020 and after coaching the reserve team for 3 seasons, Haise became the head coach of Lens, following the dismissal of Philippe Montanier.
On 27 May 2023, he led Lens to win 3–0 against Ajaccio in the 38th and final matchweek and qualify for the Champions League for the third time in their history after 1998–99 and 2002–03, finishing with 84 points only 1 point behind Paris Saint-Germain.
Nice On 6 June 2024, Haise became the head coach of Ligue 1 club Nice. On 29 December 2025, following a poor start to the 2025–26 campaign, he was sacked and replaced by Claude Puel.
Rennes On 18 February 2026, Haise became the manager of Ligue 1 side Rennes.
Coaching style Haise has generally set up Lens in a 3-4-1-2 formation, although he has at times used a 3-5-2 and a 3–4–3.
Despite mainly using a back three at Lens, he has stated, "I don’t have a favourite system. For some time now, we have often played 3-4-1-2 or 3-5-2 with the midfielder moving. This is the one I use because it more closely matches the squad and the players".
